“Well, frig,” I muttered. Bill’s news about wormholes really put a twist on what had, up until now, been a pretty simple life.

I was heading outward, away from the core, at a good fraction of the speed of light, although keeping it down enough that I could continue to interact with the Bobiverse through SCUT. Bob might like being cut off from the rest of the universe for years, but I was way too much of a control freak for that kind of vacation. But if this project of Bill’s delivered on its promise, there was no longer any issue of being cut off. I could create a chain of wormholes all the way back to UFS space and visit whenever I wanted. On the other hand, I was moving along at 70% C, and that would make it difficult to deploy a wormhole in the first place—assuming Bill’s research reached that point.

Hmm. Okay, all I really needed to worry about was creating a wormhole transit to some point in WormNet. I’d need to create a wormhole pair and send one endpoint back to the nearest seeded system, which was BSC-804. Meanwhile, I could order that system’s AMI to create a wormhole endpoint and send it back to the next system closer to UFS space. Rinse, repeat, until I was connected to the rest of the Bobiverse.
